Go to the Rogueport item shop, and take note of the prices for Fire Flowers, Sleepy Sheep, and Tasty Tonics.

Report your findings to Arfur in front of the Trouble Center.

Check Prices for Fire Flowers, Sleepy Sheep, and Tasty Tonics

Arfur needs you to take note of the prices of a Fire Flower, a Sleepy Sheep, and a Tasty Tonic in the item shop at Rogueport Plaza. Arfur will ask you about each individual price, so make sure you either memorize the prices or write the numbers down.

You can also just pick out random numbers. Arfur won't know if they're right or not, so he'll still give you the reward.

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Fire Flower Fire Flower 10 Coins
Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Sleepy Sheep Sleepy Sheep 8 Coins
Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - Tasty Tonic Tasty Tonic 3 Coins

If you want to be truthful and responsible, these are the correct Rogueport item shop prices. Fire Flowers cost 10 coins, Sleepy Sheep costs 8 coins, and Tasty Tonic costs 3 coins.
